Abstract

ObjectiveTo develop a reference image atlas for scoring the hip/pelvis region according to the OMERACT whole-body MRI scoring system for inflammation in peripheral joints and entheses (MRI-WIPE). MethodsWe collected image examples of each pathology, location and grade, discussed them at web-based, interactive meetings and, finally, selected reference images by consensus. ResultsReference images for each grade and location of osteitis, synovitis and soft tissue inflammation are provided, as are definitions, reader rules and recommended MRI-sequences. ConclusionA reference image atlas was created to guide scoring whole-body MRIs for arthritis and enthesitis in the hip/pelvis region in spondyloarthritis/psoriatic arthritis clinical trials and cohorts.
